I put "I like many chocolate candies". I know it's wrong but they corrected me with "I like a lot chocolate candies". Weird English DL

Is "chocolate candy" a particularly well-used phrase? I can't imagine someone saying that, even in the US.
"I dolci" is literally "the sweets", and although that might sound unnatural to some, it's a closer translation: "il dolce" is often a dessert or a cake rather than candy, and chocolates are "dolci" too, so it makes sense in Italian. I'm not sure about English, I'd only use candy for sugary things (its Italian relative is "candito" which means candied, glazed with sugar), but I hear in the US it's used for chocolates as well.

And in the US "candy" is used in the singular mostly, as opposed to the British use of "sweets".
